KS1 levels - what do the children need to know for each levels and sublevels

[rrbrigi]

Hi,

I am looking for a description for each level for each subject for KS1.
I have a description for the EYFS, so I exactly know what my son needs to achieve to be on expected levels.
I am looking for something to see what he needs to achieve to be on 1a for Maths or 1b for writing or 1c for reading, etc...

Can you recommend something?

Also do you think there are some overlapping between the EYFS expected levels and Level 1 in KS1 for maths and reading?

Thanks.

I have no idea for maths or writing but the reading ones are available on the internet. will see if I can find a link. I did find them, it shows what skills they need to be able to do at each of the reading levels.

and yes I think from what has been said on here the EYFS expected levels, especially in writing are overlapping with NC1.

Thanks for looking it for me.

I got my son Reception report and it says, that exceeded means that the children works on NC1 levels. So basically all of the children who is on expected levels for writing (and I think for Maths) are working on NC1 levels.

Hi rrbrigi:

This is what Norfolk do for maths (the one I used before from Lancashire is now not publically available): www.schools.norfolk.gov.uk/view/ncc102626 - you then decide if child is working low ability in that level (i.e. NC Level 1c) - Middle ability (i.e. NC Level 1b) or high ability in that level (i.e. NC Level 1a) - but there are not precise descriptors for sub-levels.

You can see other assessment guidelines for reading/ writing & maths here: www.schools.norfolk.gov.uk/Teaching-and-learning/Assessment/index.htm

elsewhere here on Mumnset there seems to be discussion that these National Curriculum levels are going to be replaced with something else (what that is has yet to be announced).

Mumsnet has a nice discussion of how a child should notionally progress through these NC Levels during primary here: www.mumsnet.com/learning/assessment/progress-through-national-curriculum-levels - I want to stress that this does not mean that your child has to rigidly follow this (certainly my DD1 finishing Y2 on KS2 SATs with a NC Level 1 in Maths definitely didn't) - but it is a useful 'yardstick' (or metre stick for the younger crowd) by which to judge things as generally good, o.k. or struggling.

HTH

Thanks PastSellByDate. Do you think every school use the same guidelines?

My DC school are levelling "exceeding" in reception as NC level 2.
